STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. — A 33-year-old Army veteran from Henry County is fighting for his life and recovery after being critically injured in a hit-and-run accident on I-75 South in Stockbridge last month.
Shamar Allen was discovered unconscious on the shoulder of the highway at around 4 a.m. on Dec. 15 after an unidentified driver hit him and left the scene. Stockbridge Police said that Allen was riding his motorcycle when he was hit and later found by mile marker 228. Reports show the crash occurred close to another crash at mile marker 226 around the same time. Investigators said the same driver allegedly hit another car and sped off.
